Chapter 18 - The WeddingWe married beneath the oak tree at the ranch.
It was small.
No reporters.
No cameras.
No strangers.
Just family.
Lila stood beside me.
Jake stood beside Daniel.
Mia scattered flowers across the grass.
Crawford walked me down the aisle.
My father's old baseball glove rested beside my mother's Bible.
I looked at it and whispered:
“I made it.”
Daniel waited beneath the oak tree.
When I reached him, he took my hands.
“You ready?”
I smiled.
“For the first time in my life.”
We said our vows.
And when he kissed me, there was no fear.
No manipulation.
May you like
No hidden identity.
Just truth.
